Dealing with medical issues is stressful and the related financial responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming. Boone Health wants to help you understand the resources that are available for you and your family.

Financial Assistance

Boone Health recognizes that some patients cannot pay for all or part of their healthcare service. We are committed to providing access to healthcare to all persons, regardless of the ability to pay. We will do this in a compassionate manner that respects each person’s dignity and privacy.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Patients who meet certain income guidelines may qualify for financial assistance.

Eligibility for assistance is based upon total gross income (how much you make before taxes) and the number of dependents (usually spouse and children) in your family. Patients who have special circumstances may receive further consideration. Eligible patients will not be charged more than patients who have insurance. You may apply for financial assistance up to 240 days after you receive your first bill.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE

Those that are below 300% of the federal poverty guideline may be eligible for full or partial discount.  In the case of a catastrophic medical event, patients who may not ordinarily qualify for financial assistance will be granted aid. Under these special circumstances, patient payment responsibilities in a 12-month period will not be more than 25 percent of annual family income.

Financial assistance applies to services deemed emergent or medically necessary.  Financial assistance will not apply to elective services such as cosmetic surgery.
